Individuals who have rebounded from a major depressive episode display a distinctive cognitive pattern, processing negative information more extensively and positive information less so than those without a history of de...

Our ability to process sentences relies on the dynamic nature of working memory, where information is not just stored, but also integrated with our future intentions. New research reveals that visual memories adapt accor...

Also known as "failed stars," brown dwarfs are celestial bodies that sit on the boundary between gas giant planets and tiny stars.

A startling study unveils a critical deficiency in the U.S. healthcare infrastructure: about 1 in 4 older Americans with dementia or cognitive impairments live solo, confronting increased hazards such as unsafe driving, ...

In the middle of the last century, physicists found that protons can resonate, much like a ringing bell. Advances over the last three decades have led to 3D pictures of the proton and significant insight into its structu...

A new study identified markers in eye scans which can detect the presence of Parkinson's disease an average of seven years before clinical presentation. This research, the largest of its kind, utilized artificial intelli...

Fossil found in France is not quite modern human and not quite Neanderthal.

Researchers discovered a potential link between "endogenous retroviruses" present in the human genome and the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Their study found that these ancient viral remnants might influence...

Researchers revealed that children's perceptions of inequality are shaped by how its origins are explained to them. While adults often attribute social inequalities to structural forces, children interpret these structur...

Researchers have identified a pivotal role of impaired mitochondrial function in the development of schizophrenia by examining the genetic risk factor 3q29 deletion syndrome. The genetic condition, known to amplify schiz...

Located at CERN's North Area and receiving beams from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), the NA64 and NA62 experiments search for dark matter, complementing searches at the LHC, as they cover a different energy range. B...

We thought Earth's water cycle was resilient to human meddling, but new analysis shows our supplies of water in plants and soil that are critical to generating rainfall are dangerously low. Here is what we must do to rep...

The past few weeks have seen a huge surge of interest among scientists and the public in a material called LK-99 after it was claimed to be a superconductor at room temperature and ambient pressure.

Researchers unveiled the intricate mechanisms through which melatonin enhances memory. They investigated how melatonin and its derivatives influence the phosphorylation levels of key memory proteins.

Comet Nishimura has a hyperbolic orbit, which suggests that it may have come from outside the solar system and will likely be catapulted into interstellar space after slingshotting around the sun.

Here's how cats first finagled their way into human hearts and homes thousands of years ago.

Animals found around hydrothermal vents - from snails covered in metal plates to hairy crabs - have unusual adaptations to survive with no sunlight and extreme pressure

The team of researchers and conservationists will collect scientific data, while also training the next generation of environmentalists.

A new study reveals how life's adversities influence the brain's patterns, potentially forecasting the onset of psychiatric disorders. Drawing from data of approximately 170 individuals, the study discerned a strong conn...

Researchers have discovered that age-related cognitive decline is most pronounced in the brain's white matter, crucial for signal transmission. This study in mice sheds light on aging's contribution to neurodegenerative ...

Luna-25, Russia's first moon mission in 47 years, was the vanguard of a planned series of lunar probes.

Researchers successfully mapped the neural activity of the C. elegans worm, correlating it to its behaviors such as movement and feeding. Using novel technologies and methodologies, they developed a comprehensive atlas t...
